Installing a Qualitia Client using Configuration Software Management Systems or Group Policy Object (GPO)

Qualitia supports the central deployment of Qualitia clients. IT administrators An IT administrator can deploy the Qualitia Automation Studio client installer across multiple computers in a single go using tools, such as configuration software management systems or group policy object (GPO). It helps in automating the deployment of Qualitia clients by the IT administrators so that end users can install clients without requiring administrator privileges.

In order to do so, the IT or system administrator must deploy the following components on the systems where you want to install Qualitia client.

The Qualitia Client folder present at the shared location contains the following components:

• SettingTemplate folder,which contains the ClientSettingTemplate.json file

• Setup.msi

Configuring the Settings in ClientSettingTemplate.json

When you deploy the QAS client installer to multiple computers, the Qualitia Automation Studio - Client x.x.x Installer folder is created in %ProgramFilesx86% folder. This folder contains the QAS client installer file.

To configure the settings in ClientSettingTemplate.json:

1. Open the ClientSettingTemplate.json file that is present inside the Qualitia Automation Studio - Client x.x.x Installer folder, enter the following information, and then save the file:

   1. DatabaseType: (Mandatory) Lets you specify the database type, MySql or SqlServer.

        Note: You do not need to enter any value in Authmode if you are connecting to MySQL.

   3. ServerName: (Mandatory) Lets you specify the database server IP address. .

   4. Port: (Mandatory) Lets you specify the database server port Id.

   5. MasterDBName: (Mandatory) Lets you specify the Master Database name.

Deploying QAS Client on User Computers

A file called Setup.msi is present in the Qualitia Client folder, which you need to run to deploy the QAS client installer.

Run the following command to install the Qualitia Client Setup on the computers you want:

msiexec /i "Client\Setup.msi" /quiet

After deploying the QAS client to multiple computers, the folder called Qualitia Automation Studio - Client x.x.x Installer is automatically created in the %ProgramFilesx86% folder.

Optionally, use the following commands:

• To connect to the Sentinel license server, enter the following command:

call Support_Packages\haspdinst.exe -i -nomsg

...

• To deploy the shared components such as IE Object Spy and Recorder, enter the following command:

msiexec /i "SharedComponents\Qualitia_IE_
